Great app
Love this app. It’s easy to set up and use. I really feel safer knowing that my real number isn’t being used when I have to enter a phone number online. Plus this app is transparent. They don’t hide anything…

Why choose a Lake Oswego virtual phone number?
Part of the Portland metro, not a separate market
Lake Oswego sits just south of Portland, and a 503 or 971 number reads as local to contacts in Portland, Beaverton, and Tigard, not just inside city limits.
Neighbors in Tigard and Oregon City see the same code
If you're posting to local buy-and-sell groups that pull from Tigard, Oregon City, or Aloha, a 503 or 971 number matches what people there already expect on their own phones.
971 is an overlay, not a second zone
971 was added on top of 503 rather than splitting the region geographically, so it's carried by many people in Gresham and Hillsboro too. Either code still reads as this area.
Vancouver, WA is a different state and a different code
Cross the Columbia into Vancouver and you're in Washington's numbering area, not Oregon's. Keeping a 503 or 971 number for work or dating there signals you're calling from the Oregon side.
Unwanted call reports are common here too
Lake Oswego residents file the same kinds of unwanted call reports as the rest of the metro, mostly robocalls and spoofed numbers. A second number lets you hand it out for classifieds or dating without exposing your main line.

503 and 971 both cover the Portland metro area, including Lake Oswego, Portland, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard, and Oregon City. Vancouver, WA sits just across the river but falls under a separate Washington numbering area.
Lake Oswego runs on Pacific Time. Because 971 was layered onto the same region as 503 rather than assigned to a new geographic slice, both codes serve the identical metro area rather than splitting it in two.
Residents here report the same pattern seen across the Portland area: unwanted robocalls and calls from spoofed local-looking numbers are the most common complaint filed with the FTC, more than other categories like text scams or fake prize calls.
